Best Day One Poems

Day one..
Late March
I turn the rich, black, earth
Letting it fall between my fingers..
Breathe in its richness

Planting seeds to feed body and soul..
Allowing my spirit to renew as they grow
And enjoy the fresh goodness hard work provides..

Then watch again helplessly as it all dies
Returning to rich,...

Day 1 is when you winked at me
Day 2 I saw you grin
Day 3 is when you blew a kiss
Day 4 went out for a spin
Day 5 is when you held my hand
Day 6 gave me a kiss
Day 7 I gave up being coy
Day 8...

I came out screaming from the womb
No I am not a malcontent, I innocent
Was slapped upon my nakedness. Gloom
Was the first thing I grasp, a dissident
             Wet and squirming in ackward light

Spring Day One

Day One of Spring and it’s 86.
Anxiously, the trees have been watched,
Will the old natives burst buds one more time?
How long will puffs stay on the dandelions?
Dear Iris have come and are now hanging over;
Bare soil is covered with sticker clover.
A newly painted...

Day one I am starting my new school
my emotions are in a spin
some of me wants to run ahead
to meet new people and friends

The rest of me wants to hide
to stay behind my mother's skirts
I cling to her hand staying close
and whine for her to...

Around my garden butterflies dance.
Bright wings shining in Spring's sunlight.
Winter is gone, you can tell at a glance.
I turn my face to the sun ... sigh in delight.
Getting rid of the winter was a long, hard fight.

The breeze is cool, still carrying a nip
to remind...

Day one at a new school.
In a new place
And a new life
Where I know nobody
And nobody knows me.
I can be whoever I want to be
Silent Shadow
or Shining Star
Mean Girl
or Nice One
Just Plain Ugly
or Stunningly beautiful
Super Smart
or Complete Moron.
It all depends
On whom I am
Day one at...

Day one is the beginning of hard work-
January and March has taken my life back to square one.
Day one of each surgery, helpless as a new born baby.
One step at a time, so close but so far away,
Has prepared me for yet another surgery.
Light at...

Day one of my regular period,
He always think I’m not in good mood;
         Seeing me, he runs away
         Do you think I like that way?
My heart isn’t hard as...

Let us escape our space and time
Let mine go forward and yours unwind
And let us meet on even plain
Just for a day each others claim
Before the dawn we both awake
Aware we only have this date
To you I give what I promised death
From earthly being all...

Day one I showed up

ready to start working at

Der Wienerschnitzel.

My first day was my last day.

The trainer was a *wiener!


*slang for a jerk

for Linda's Day One Poetry Contest)...

Day One, so on and so forth 
That's about how we met 
Took him away from another girl
Soon learned the word regret!

Day Two . . .  wasn't any better
Not like I thought it'd be
That selfish girl came round
And took him back from me!

Well sister...

Day One

Day one lays unfathomed
Like mist in the Sky.
Oh dear mouth halts the murmur
And behold the noon sky.
Eyes on the line watch the new heavens
As it marches gently with the noon.
On this clear noon sky, yet decision ceases to be made
And accepts being delayed till...

People of the Dawn came first
before the European’s thirst
for more and more
to steal and store.
Generous first peoples soon cursed...
